Chapter 267 Trap
Chen Hechuan didn't understand why, but looking at the tacit understanding between the two of them, he felt a little sour inexplicably and couldn't help but snort.
A moment later, Gu Jingchun directed his men to quickly collect various things near the carriage - stones, sticks, and any usable debris, as well as various weapons.
Gu Jingchun brought all the things and had people busy setting them up around the carriage.
After a moment, she clapped her hands.
"Okay, everything is ready. Now we just have to wait for the enemy in the dark to take the bait."
After Gu Jingchun prepared everything, he gave Ye Wenxi another instruction, asking him to find a way to lure the people down from the mountain.
Ye Wenxi naturally nodded in agreement and immediately made arrangements.
Seeing that everything was ready, Gu Jingchun returned to the carriage and prepared to sleep.
The carriage was bumpy all the way last night, and she felt dizzy and had no way to rest properly.
Now that she has the opportunity to rest, she must seize the time.
However, when Chen Hechuan saw the tacit coordination between the two, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and had no desire to sleep at all. He simply sat high on his horse and looked around vigilantly.
All the other people also formed a circle, surrounding the carriage in the middle.
Gu Jinxi had slept for too long during the day and was not sleepy at the moment, so she rode on horseback with Chen Hechuan, leisurely and freely... reading the storybook.
Chen Hechuan was always tense.
Gu Jinxi watched for a while, and also noticed Chen Hechuan's tension, so he closed the storybook and advised:
"Dad, you don't have to worry so much."
"My mother said that for a job like pushing rocks on a mountain top that requires no brains, the people who came here must not be very smart, let alone have no skills, so they must be easily fooled."
"Besides, we don't know when the other party will come. Your actions will arouse their vigilance and make them afraid to come."
As he spoke, he patted Shen Hechuan with confidence.
"Dad, don't worry. As long as mother takes action, there will be absolutely no accidents."
When Shen Hechuan heard this, he was first surprised at Gu Jingchun's ability to infer, and then seeing Gu Jinxi's confident look, he was surprised at her ability again.
This reminded him of the setbacks he suffered when he sneaked into Gu Jingchun's yard.
When Chen Hechuan thought of this, he felt much more at ease.
He was no longer nervous, looked around, and simply told everyone to rest where they were.
But in order to stay alert at all times, a few more people were assigned to stand guard.
Everyone had been traveling for a long time and was already very tired. When they received the order, they immediately lay down, sat, or leaned on the spot, and closed their eyes.
The same goes for Shen Hechuan.
He got off the horse, held Gu Jinxi in his arms and sat on the ground next to the carriage, letting him find a suitable position in his arms.
Then he turned his head inadvertently, but happened to meet Ye Wenxi's eyes.
He didn't want to pay attention, but Ye Wenxi was pretending, so he immediately bowed.
Chen Hechuan snorted softly, still not wanting to pay attention to him, and immediately turned his head to look to the other side.
But Ye Wenxi said, "Your Highness."
His voice was clear and his tone was respectful.
"My surname is Ye, and my name is Wenxi. I have been with Miss Gu for many years. Thanks to her cultivation, I can barely live like a human being."
"But I know full well that these are nothing in the face of power."
"However, since my master has decided to enter the palace, I would like to ask you for a position of some kind, so that I can better serve my master when necessary."
As Ye Wenxi spoke, he knelt down in front of Shen Hechuan.
When Shen Hechuan heard him say that Gu Jingchun was planning to enter the palace, he felt much more comfortable and couldn't help but look Ye Wenxi up and down.
"You want to enter the court?"
This guy is really... more shameless than he expected.
How did he manage to speak these words to him without distraction?
And give him an official position?
If it were a few days ago, he might have chopped him down directly.
Chen Hechuan looked at Ye Wenxi with gloomy eyes and tightly pursed thin lips, making it impossible to tell his emotion.
But he was trying to help Gu Jingchun, so he couldn't refuse.
Shen Hechuan gritted his teeth and chuckled.
"Ye Wenxi, you are really great."
Ye Wenxi continued to request.
"Your Highness, please show some mercy!"
Just at this moment, Gu Jingchun got out of the carriage.
When she heard this, she frowned slightly and turned to look at Shen Hechuan.
"You...bullied him?"
"Swish", Shen Hechuan's face turned red in an instant.
So angry!
"How could I bully him?"
As soon as Shen Hechuan explained, Ye Wenxi took over and continued to explain:
"No, I am asking Your Highness to find me a position."
Gu Jingchun nodded when he heard that.
She also sat down beside Shen Hechuan and advised him in a low voice.
"Actually, you don't need to give him any official position. You just need to give him a chance to recommend someone."
"Based on his abilities, if he gets this opportunity, he will definitely rise to prominence."
Shen Hechuan couldn't help but smile.
"You know him very well."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"certainly."
"If he becomes an official in the court, he will definitely be your right-hand man in the future."
Shen Hechuan sneered in his heart.
"assistant?"
I'm afraid it might be a killer!
He doesn't want it.
However, having said that, Shen Hechuan still admired Ye Wenxi very much, so even though he was reluctant in his heart, he still nodded.
"We'll talk about this when we get back to heaven."
This statement means that most of it is true.
Ye Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up.
Just at this moment, there was suddenly some movement in the distance.
It was very light, but it reached Shen Hechuan's ears clearly.
He immediately looked at Gu Jingchun.
"If there's any movement, go to the carriage first."
Gu Jingchun also knew that he would only be a burden if he stayed outside, so he immediately and obediently got into the carriage.
Before leaving, he also took away Gu Jinxi who was hiding in the corner.
Chen Hechuan and Ye Wenxi immediately looked at each other, leaning on the carriage and pretending to be asleep.
At this time, not far away, a group of masked men in black were slowly approaching them.
However, just as they approached, they stepped on something and suddenly a row of long knives appeared in the ground and immediately cut off their feet.
Those who were lucky enough to escape quickly moved forward, and what awaited them were long arrows shot at them.
There are so many of them and they move so fast that it is impossible to dodge them.
Even if someone managed to dodge the attack, a trap falling from the sky would be waiting for them.
